Did you see this? Combat feeding center on CSPAN?

[Must_B_Free]

Food for warfighters.

Enjoy a nice Penne on the battlefield
How about mexican mac and cheese
and a pocket sandwich for special forces

all food lasts 3 years, 80 degrees, all warfighter approved...

It's actually pretty neat if you forget about the fact that people are out there dying for this stuff.

1. No and I am not even sure I know what you are talking about.

Fill me in.

2. I think he is talking about MRE's.

Meals ready to Eat. The military sustenance devoured in the field of battle.

3. MREs

Which they should still not have to be eating now, but the civilian contractors Rummy hired aren't getting the job done.

4. They talk about how wonderful these meals are

and they're okay for a few days, but they totally mess up your gut if you eat them for too long. You gotta wonder what kind of shit they put in them to keep the food stable for that long.

edit: spelling

5. They're not that bad

In comparison to the old C-Rations the guys got in Vietnam.

They are kinda starchy, but they fill you up. Definately something I wouldn't wnat to eat 3 times a day unless I absolutely had too.
